Woodcarving Fun

I haven't made time to write anything lately, so I thought I'd share my most recent attempt at woodcarving...




The following images were taken with my Nikon 5200 and a 40 mm macro lens.






  I carved this figure from common Basswood and finished with oil and wax...







Hope you enjoy the piece.  By the way, the images are pretty degraded here - please let me know if you want to see high resolution images, and I'll get 'em to you.



I've also been busy creating the new Warrior's Dance Dream Series, 5 short video pieces shot in Tucson at the Warrior's Dance school... These will be my first attempt at producing my own video - They will all be shot with my Nikon 5200 DSLR, and I'll be doing the editing with iMovie - not too sophisticated...


The sound is my own voice and my Native American F# flute... Enjoy...

Warrior's Dance Dream Series # 1

Greetings...Hope you enjoyed the previous post - I know it was a bit heavy.
I wanted to take a short break from writing and share something else I've been working on out of the Tucson Warrior's Dance School.  I'm producing ten brief video segments of Warrior's Dance entitled the "Dream Series..."  These will all be shot by my students in our studio, and we'll be using a Nikon 5200 DSLR.  I'll be doing the editing and post-production in iMovie.

Here's the first one:



The sound track is my own original music - it's me chanting along with my F# Native American Flute...

Have fun and feel free to send me any feedback or reactions.  I'll be back to writing in a week or two...

Peace,





David Lader
